Jenga of Life

Life often feels like a game of Jenga.

We start with a steady base, which often depends on our upbringing, our early experiences and the people who shape us.

As we grow, we begin stacking over the existing base: new jobs, relationships, lessons learned, goals, failures, wins. 

Each move we make is built on what came before. Just like in Jenga.

We’re always try to balance between and within the existing situations and happening in life: pulling from here, shifting there, trying to keep things upright while still making progress.

Sometimes, a piece falls. 

A plan doesn’t work out. 

We lose something or someone. 

We’re left staring at the mess, wondering what to do next. But just like in the game, we don’t throw the tower away. 

We rebuild. 

We learn. 

We use what’s left to create something new, maybe even stronger than before.

Success doesn’t come from never making mistakes. It comes from having a solid foundation and the ability to adjust when things get shaky. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. Being aware. Staying calm. Making thoughtful moves when it matters.

And most of all, remembering it’s just a game. One to be played with curiosity, courage, and a little bit of fun.

Just continue to play, no matter the times you fall. If the base is not strong, build reinforcement and try to support.

Take risk and "build again" if it falls.

Take risk and "build again" if it stands.

Take risk and build again, to be in the game.

Life is like Jenga: built on experience, shaped by change.
